118 And it came to pass that the people of Limhi began to drive the Lamanites before them, yet they were not half so numerous as the Lamanites.
119 But they fought for their lives, and for their wives, and for their children; therefore they exerted themselves, and like dragons did they fight.
120 And it came to pass that they found the king of the Lamanites among the number of their dead; yet he was not dead, having been wounded and left upon the ground, so speedy was the flight of his people.
121 And they took him and bound up his wounds, and brought him before Limhi, and said, Behold, here is the king of the Lamanites; he having received a wound, has fallen among their dead, and they have left him; and behold, we have brought him before you; and now let us slay him.
122 But Limhi said unto them, Ye shall not slay him, but bring him hither, that I may see him. And they brought him.
123 And Limhi said unto him, What cause have ye to come up to war against my people?
124 Behold, my people have not broken the oath that I made unto you; therefore, why should ye break the oath which ye made unto my people?
125 And now the king said, I have broken the oath, because thy people did carry away the daughters of my people; therefore in my anger I did cause my people to come up to war against thy people.
126 Now Limhi had heard nothing concerning this matter; therefore he said, I will search among my people, and whosoever has done this thing shall perish.
127 Therefore he caused a search to be made among his people.
128 Now when Gideon had heard these things, he being the king's captain, he went forth and said unto the king, I pray thee forbear, and do not search this people, and lay not this thing to their charge.
